TOR Reporter Episode 20 – Capture the T-Shirt

For this week’s show, Josh and Chris take a look at the week that was, with it’s patch notes, videos, companion guides, community Q&As and T-shirts exposed for all to see.

What we did this week:

Josh

Moneys are tight without slicing!PvP still as fun as ever

Chris
Jedi at 37 – HOTH!! All crafting over 200 now.
Smuggler at 21 – Space Mission Tutorial at twitch.tv/mmoreporter
PvP on my Trooper – Healing is hard with only one skill
I was on The Instance: TOR Edition

•Lexiekaboom: 16 man Operations are much harder than 8 man Operations (to the point where most guilds can easily clear hard mode 8 man before being able to clear 16 man easy mode) but there is no loot difference at all to doing them. It’s better to send your 16 man raid force to clear two 8 man instances .Is this oversight or design? What will be done to offset this in the future?
•Gabe Amatangelo: This is not per design. The teams have been addressing this in the weekly patches to some degree and more so in Game Update 1.2. It is intended that 16 player mode is slightly easier than 8 player mode due to the fact that getting and coordinating 16 players is a larger hurdle in and of itself.

Yay BioWare for supporting your employees and standing up to ignorant bullying of your people
